Overview
You've heard of Wawel Castle. You've probably heard of its kings, its dragon, its centuries of royal glory. But what about the women who shaped it — and who shaped Poland itself? On this 2-hour small-group walking tour, your storyteller guide will bring to life the queens, saints, artists, and Nobel Prize winners whose extraordinary stories have been hiding in plain sight. From the powerful medieval queen Jadwiga, who chose her kingdom over her heart, to the mysterious Lady with an Ermine — and from the royal intrigues of Bona Sforza to the brilliance of Marie Curie and Wisława Szymborska — this is the Poland nobody tells you about. Our original Herstory storytelling concept weaves together medieval history, art history, and modern women's achievements into one unforgettable walk through Wawel Hill. Perfect for curious travelers, history lovers, and anyone who believes that half of history has been left untold.
Meeting and Pickup
The meeting point is next to the Światowid from Zbrucz monument, at the beginning of the path leading to the castle. The guide will be holding a sign with the company name “Discover Cracow.”
